We have a major credibility crisis in America. As once-respected entities, such as the media and federal agencies like the CDC and FBI, have repeatedly been shown to be purveyors of shaded truths and (dare I say it?) misinformation, a growing contingent of the public has come to view statements and actions made by those entities with a healthy dose of skepticism – and understandably so. We find ourselves in the midst of a play: The Establishment Who Cried Wolf.

So it is that almost immediately after news reports surfaced Monday night of a U-Haul truck crashing into security barriers near the White House — with a Nazi flag being among the items found in the truck – many began speculating that this was a “false flag” event, orchestrated by “the feds” to bolster the notion that white supremacy and domestic terrorism are on the rise and pose the greatest threat to our homeland.
